This fall SVHE is offering an opportunity for students ages 13-19 to be a part of a one act play entitled Listen to the Stars, A Peter Pan Play.
Synopsis: Listen to the Stars is adapted from the novel Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie. It follows much of the original plot and features well known characters such as Wendy, Captain Hook, Smee, Tinker Bell, the lost children, and of course Peter Pan.
“The second star to the left, then straight on till morning”; that’s where Peter Pan lives, or so he tells Wendy when he flies into her room looking for his missing shadow. Wendy soon discovers Neverland, where fairies are vengeful, pirates take tea, and stars speak. Caught between old and new, fact and imagination, she must decide what she believes is real and who matters most.
Listen to the Stars will be directed by SVHE grads Alicia DeHaan and Karly Kroeker. The show has 10 named roles, 3 male, 2 female, and 5 either gender. Additional non-speaking roles could be cast as we will have need for costumed actors for set moves and movement sequences. We are excited about this show because it offers an opportunity to grow in skill. It requires more complex staging than last year’s show, and has a few roles that require more nuance than most of the characters in Bad Auditions by Bad Actors. However, you do not need to have experience with acting to be a part of the show!
Auditions will be held on Tuesday August 5th. (If this date does not work for you, email Alicia at ajoydehaan@gmail.com.) You do not need to prepare material for the audition. You will be asked to read from the script and complete some movement exercises.
The cost to be a part of the show is $20 per person, to help cover the cost of set and costumes. Actors will also be expected to provide their own costumes with guidance from the directors. Please note that the costume needs for this show are very specific. Financial assistance for costume purchasing will be available if needed.
Rehearsals will be held on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 August 19 to October 28 in the Life Center at First Covenant Church, Salina KS.
Dress rehearsals will be November 3, 4, and 6. Performances will be November 7 and 8 in the First Covenant Church Life Center.
